Caterham in crisis with grip

Normal free practice day and without major problems for the Caterham although both pilots declared themselves quite dissatisfied.

“They weren't two great sessions due to the lack of grip – he commented Kamui Kobayashi, 21st and 20th - In F1 we ​​carried out various aerodynamic evaluations analyzing the new parts, also focusing on the set-up, but unfortunately the poor grip did not allow me to set a decent time. The same happened in FP2 where the heat even made things worse. It will be better on Saturday."

“It felt like driving on ice constantly changing from oversteer to understeer,” he reported Marcus Ericsson, 22nd and 21st – The afternoon wasn't easy either, the level of traction was really low and consequently it wasn't possible to express all the power I would have liked. However, overall it was a profitable first day in terms of number of laps completed and data collected."
